"Russia, the world's second largest oil exporter, has been pushing for a rethink on the dollar's status as the world's reserve currency of choice and plans to discuss the dollar's role with BRIC group partners Brazil, India and China at a summit next week."
It looks like the pressure against the $ is mounting at the same time there is pressure against the crimex. Many factors are comming to a focus in the near future with the next precius metal OE being considered a major one, the $ getting fundamentally weaker by the day (threats of downgrading the AAA rating for the $), the stock market after the PPT goosings looking WAY over bought and ready to crater, oil climbing relentlessly, Interest rates climbing, unemployment climbing, and the US manipulation and propaganda becomming less and less effective.
Globally the US is facing the result of decades of heavy handed manipulation of both finances and nations. Gold and silver are regaining the status that they once had. The populations of western nations are the last to wake up, but that may soon change. The next financial "crisis" may just get J6P off his butt and wake the world up.
The recent $.43 price of ECU may be tomorrow's daily move up. Hang on!!
